Quality Control

Our 1-(4-Hydroxy-2,5-Dimethyl-Phenyl)-Ethanone is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, documenting identity, assay, and impurity profiles to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
